TECHNICAL FIELD Details of Related Applications

The present invention claims priority from: Japanese Patent Application Number 2013-081409 (filed on Apr. 9, 2013), the entire disclosure of which application is incorporated in the present specification by way of reference.

The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and in particular relates to a semiconductor device having a layout pattern of wiring that is electrically connected with a contact part.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

In the lithographic technique of manufacturing semiconductor devices, reduction of the optical pitch of the contact hole pattern tends to be more difficult to achieve than in the case of the wiring pattern: typically when providing a contact part 121 on a periodic pattern such as that of wirings 101, 102 of FIG. 5, the contact part connected therewith is constituted with a pitch of twice that of the wirings 101, 102 in question. However, with increasing progress in miniaturization of wiring patterns, if contact parts are merely arranged at intervals of alternate wirings, the contact part may sometimes deviate from the wiring pattern, resulting in the problems of increased contact resistance or short-circuiting of wirings adjacent to the contact part.

Accordingly, in order to solve such problems, in the prior art, as shown in FIG. 6, the end edge portion of the wiring 102, of the adjacent wirings, where no contact part 121 was connected was removed and a lead-out wiring part 111 where the end edge portion of the wiring 101, which is connected with the contact part 121, was thicker was provided, the contact part 121 being arranged at this lead-out wiring part 111. In this way, deviation of the contact part was avoided and short-circuiting was avoided by concomitantly increasing the wiring separation by providing a margin in regard to the pitch of the wirings 101, 102 (see for example Patent Reference 1).

Also, in the case where the one side of adjacent wirings 101, 102 should be at the same potential, bridge portion 114 were provided to connect such end edge portions of adjacent wirings 101, 102 of the same potential, and a contact part 121 was arranged at the bridge portion 114 in question: in this way, deviation of the contact part from the wiring and short-circuiting between wirings 101 and 102 was avoided (see for example Patent Reference 2).

OUTLINE OF THE INVENTION Problem that the Invention is Intended to Solve

The following analysis is provided by the inventor of the present application

However, when, in the lithographic technique, higher NA (numerical aperture) and higher σ (coherence factor: numerical aperture of an illumination optical system viewed from the pupil of a projection optical system/numerical aperture of the projection optical system viewed from the pupil of the projection optical system) are employed, with further miniaturization of the wiring pattern, it becomes essential to employ illumination such as cross-pole illumination.

Recently, wirings are being drawn with a pitch that is close to the limit of resolution and attempts have been made to provide contact parts 121 with double pitch as in FIG. 6. In these circumstances, although, under nominal conditions, resolution as in FIG. 8 is achieved (resolution portion 131) in all portions of the wiring (101, 102 in FIG. 6) as well as in the portion corresponding to the lead-out wiring part (111 in FIG. 6), under defocusing conditions, resist loss as in FIG. 9 becomes significant, resulting in a degraded depth of focus portion 132 being produced, in which the depth of focus of the portion corresponding to the lead-out wiring part (111 in FIG. 6) is severely degraded (i.e. diminished). Since, under defocusing conditions, there is little resist residue, the probability of pattern erasure in the etching process is increased. This is because 3-beam flux interference (3-beam wave interference) is produced when the lens peripheral zone is employed. Details are given below.

Conventionally, to achieve the illumination required for resolution of a minimum pitch of 110 nm (resolution 55 nmL/S: L/S=Line and Space), a liquid-immersion exposure apparatus having a moderate aperture (NA), giving an illumination shape A (NA=1.05, σ=0.94/0.58, cross-pole=40 deg open) as shown in FIG. 10 was satisfactory. As shown in FIG. 11, the pupil of such an apparatus passes a 55 nmL/S diffraction pattern comprising the 0-order beam and first-order beam only and is imaged with 2-beam flux interference at a resist surface as shown in FIG. 12. With 2-beam flux interference, the phase is the same in the resist depth direction, so high DOF (Depth of Focus) can be obtained. In contrast, in the case of 220 nm pitch (resolution 110 nmL/S), as shown in FIG. 13, the pupil surface passes the 0-order beam, first-order beam and second-order beam, and the pattern is imaged with 3-beam flux interference on the resist surface, as shown in FIG. 14. In the case of 3-beam flux interference, the phase difference with light coming from the middle of the pupil is considerably different in the depth direction, resulting in mutual cancelling-out, with the result that the DOF becomes small. To avoid double-pitch patterning, the phase difference is made the maximum (it is presupposed that illumination is optimized for minimum pitch).

However, with a minimum pitch of about 110 nm pitch, it is possible to achieve a large difference, with the inside σ being 0.58, compared with an outside σ of 0.94 (coherence factor), so light is effectively admitted even at 220 nm pitch: consequently, although the DOF was weak, a large drop could be avoided.

When, with further miniaturization, the minimum pitch becomes 80 nm pitch (resolution 40 nmL/S), the illumination required for resolution assumes the illumination shape B shown in FIG. 15 (NA=1.35, σ=0.94/0.84, cross-pole=40 deg.open) i.e. high NA and high σ, even the inside σ being 0.84. With such illumination, the angle of incidence onto the resist becomes large, as shown in FIG. 17 (the difference can be seen in comparison with the 55 nmL/S of FIG. 15). In such a condition, when 160 nm pitch (resolution 80 nmL/S) is exposed, as shown in FIG. 18, phase difference offset on the resist becomes extremely large, so scarcely any DOF can be obtained. Also, since 80 nm pitch is to be resolved, it is not possible to widen the difference with regard to the outside σ by reducing the inside σ, so a large drop in depth of focus in the region in the vicinity of a minimum pitch of 1.5 times to 2.3 times cannot be avoided.

The graph of FIG. 19 shows an investigation, using a simulation, of pattern DOF, altering the pitch, with illumination respectively individually optimized as that necessary for resolution with minimum pitch of 80 nm and 110 nm respectively. The mask was adjusted such that the simulation CD (Critical Dimension) was 1:1. The simulation was performed with an optical image and a threshold value was selected such that the simulation CD was 1:1 when the minimum pitch mask had an L/S of 1:1. In the case of a minimum pitch of 110 nm, the DOF satisfies the specification even for double pitch of 220 nm. In contrast, in the case of minimum pitch of 80 nm, for double pitch of 160 nm, the worst results were obtained (meaning that the situation could not be dealt with by conventional techniques). The pattern was therefore drawn with strict pitch. With the illumination shape B, there is a region of extremely small depth of focus, centered on the vicinity of double pitch (160 nm) of the minimum pitch.

As described above, conventionally, with miniaturization of the wiring pattern, securing depth of pitch by the techniques disclosed in Patent References 1 and 2 became difficult, when higher resolution was sought by using a combination of high lens NA and an illumination shape employing the peripheral part of the light source.

MODES FOR PUTTING THE INVENTION INTO PRACTICE Embodiment 1

A semiconductor device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing diagrammatically the layout pattern of the wiring of a semiconductor device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing diagrammatically a resolution pattern when the layout pattern of the wiring of a semiconductor device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is resolved under defocusing conditions.

Referring to FIG. 1, in this semiconductor device, in a wiring layer of multi-layer wiring structure, in which wirings and insulating layers are laminated, four wirings 1 to 4 are arranged in order from the top of FIG. 1 within a prescribed interval (4n times pitch) in a first direction, and the arrangement of wirings 1 to 4 is repeated. Wirings 1 to 4 extend in a direction at right angles to the first direction and have respectively the same wiring width; adjacent wirings 1 to 4 are mutually separated with an interval that is the same as the width of the wirings in question. Wirings 1 to 4 collectively are disposed with a pitch of n times that of adjacent wirings.

In the region on the right-hand side of the end edge portion of the wirings 1 to 4 in FIG. 1, three lead-out wiring parts 11 to 13 that are arranged with a pitch of 4n/3 times are disposed within the prescribed interval in the first direction. These lead-out wiring parts 11 to 13 extend in a direction at right angles with respect to the first direction and have respectively the same wiring width (4/3 times the wiring width of the wirings 1 to 4), being mutually separated from adjacent lead-out wiring parts 11 to 13, with the same interval as the wiring width in question.

A bridge part 14 that contacts lead-out wiring parts 11, 12 is disposed in a prescribed position between the lead-out wiring parts 11, 12. A contact part 21 that contacts at least part of the bridge part 14 is disposed in a prescribed position in the region of the bridge part 14. Also, a contact part 22 that contacts the lead-out wiring part 13 is disposed in a prescribed position in the region of the lead-out wiring part 13. The interval between the contact part 21 and the contact part 22 is half (2n times pitch) the prescribed interval (4n times pitch) in the first direction.

The lead-out wiring part 11 is not connected with any wiring. The lead-out wiring part 12 is connected with the wiring 2 in inclined fashion. It should be noted that while the lead-out wiring part 11 is connected with the wiring 2, the lead-out wiring part 12 could be arranged not to be connected with any wiring. The lead-out wiring part 13 is connected with the wiring 4.

With Embodiment 1, phase offset in three-beam flux interference becomes small, so the depth of focus is increased. In other words, greater depth of focus can be achieved in a combination of NA exceeding 1 produced by liquid immersion with illumination shape, such as for example dipole or cross-pole, using the peripheral part of the light source. Consequently, even under defocusing conditions, all of the portion (resolution portion 31) corresponding to the wirings 1 to 4 and the lead-out wiring parts 11 to 13 is resolved (see FIG. 2), and the region where the residual resist film has sufficient thickness is of ample size, thereby improving ability to withstand etching; albeit pattern deformation caused by focus offset becomes large.

Referring to FIG. 3, in a semiconductor device, in a wiring layer of multi-layer wiring structure in which wirings and insulating layers are laminated, within a prescribed interval (8n times pitch) in a first direction, eight wirings 1 to 8 are disposed in order from the top of FIG. 3; the arrangement of the wirings 1 to 8 is repeated. The wirings 1 to 8 extend in a direction at right angles to the first direction and are respectively of the same wiring width, adjacent wirings 1 to 8 being mutually separated with an interval that is the same as the wiring width in question. The wirings 1 to 8 are collectively arranged with n times the pitch of adjacent wirings.

In the region on the right-hand side of the end edge portion of the wirings 1 to 8 in FIG. 3, there are disposed seven lead-out wiring parts 11 a, 12 a, 11 b, 12 b, 12 c, 11 c and 13, which are arranged with 8n/7 times pitch within the prescribed interval in the first direction. The lead-out wiring parts 11 a, 12 a, 11 b, 12 b, 12 c, 11 c and 13 are respectively of the same wiring width (8/7 times the wiring width of the wirings 1 to 8), extend in a direction at right angles to the first direction and are mutually separated from adjacent lead-out wiring parts 11 a, 12 a, 11 b, 12 b, 12 c, 11 c and 13 by the same interval as the wiring width in question.

In respective prescribed positions between the lead-out wiring parts 11 a, 12 a, between the lead-out wiring parts 11 b and 12 b and between the lead-out wiring parts 12 c and 11 c, bridge parts 14 a, 14 b and 14 c are arranged that are connected with the corresponding lead-out wiring. In a prescribed position of the region in the vicinity of the boundary of the bridge part 14 a and the lead-out wiring part 12 a, there is disposed a contact part 21 a that contacts at least part of the corresponding bridge part 14 a and lead-out wiring part 12 a. Also, in a prescribed position of the region of the bridge part 14 b, there is disposed a contact part 21 b that contacts at least part of the bridge part 14 b. Also, in a prescribed position of the region in the vicinity of the boundary of the lead-out wiring part 12 c and the bridge part 14 c, there is disposed a contact part 21 c that contacts at least part of the corresponding lead-out wiring part 12 c and the bridge part 14 c. Also, in a prescribed position of the region of the lead-out wiring part 13, there is disposed a contact part 22 that contacts the lead-out wiring part 13. The pitch between adjacent contact parts 21 a, 21 b, 21 c and 22 is 1/4 (2n times pitch) of the prescribed interval (8n times pitch) in the first direction.

The lead-out wiring parts 11 a, 11 b and 11 c are not connected with any wiring. The lead-out wiring parts 12 a, 12 b and 12 c are connected in inclined fashion with the corresponding wirings 2, 4 and 6. It should be noted that, while the lead-out wiring parts 11 a, 11 b and 11 c are connected with the corresponding wirings 2, 4 and 6, the lead-out wiring parts 12 a, 12 b and 12 c need not be connected with any wiring. The lead-out wiring part 13 is connected with the wiring 8.
